Tippertop

Tippertop is a hilltop village in Magnapolis. It started out as a mining community for the copper mine founded on the hillside, but while the mine was eventually shut down, the village remained as a trading hub for the farmers of the Mellow Pastures. The buildings are all small-scale, as almost all of the villagers are gnomes, halflings, kobolds or hill dwarves.   Since the mining business concluded, the main livelihood comes from farming , shepherding and lumbering wood from the Tipperwood forest spreading to north from the hill. Tipperwood also contains rare goodberry bushes, which the local say is a sign of fey folk activity.   The village is governed by a small council of three priests that employs a sheriff to handle the peacekeeping. Currently the small council consists of Smith Priest Alamo Butterstein serving Kreusstross, Mother Belinda who keeps a home for the orphans and the elderly in the name of Tritiana Mater, and Philomelo's Teacher Priestess Jura. The current sheriff is a portly halfling called Benzo Humblecart, who is more known for his appetite for donuts than doing actual protection.
